He explained that there was a thirty day period to respond while the IFQs were under judicial review. He noted that one of the problems among many was enforcement. Patrick Holmes, co -chair of the Kodiak High School Advisory Committee, thanked the Assembly for their support of the previous remodel phases at the high school and urged support for Phase IV.

Rick Berns, Old Harbor resident, phoned to add his support to the Borough's position on IFQs and favored financial assistance to the Alliance Against IFQs. Tracy Akers wished the Assembly a merry Christmas as she thanked them for being responsive to issues all year. She supported the authorization to provide financial assistance to the Alliance Against IFQs. She asked that more information be made available to the public on the Tri- Borough Position Paper on the Federal Oil and Gas Lease Sale No. 149. She urged the Assembly to postpone adopting Resolution No. 93 - until adequate protection was specified. AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS STUDENT OF THE MONTH CITIZENS' COMMENTS Volume XVII Page 176 1 "l 4 6 5 9 Presiding Officer McFarland explained the Position Paper was to identify specific concerns during the lease sale review process, not delineate spill prevention and response capability requirements. When Ms. Akers asked if a time frame could be specified, Assemblymember Gould pointed out that oil spill contingency plans must be approved. Ms. Akers continued to be nervous even with the Position Paper. She wanted the Position Paper to be detailed. Presiding Officer McFarland said the Position Paper outlined major areas of concern and specific mechanisms in documents were part of the process. Assemblymember Milligan noted the support of the paper from three boroughs. He added that the Position Paper would start dialogue for the public. Ms. Akers was adamant that more emphasis on prevention and response was needed in Section 3 in the Position Paper. Mary Jacobs appreciated the Assembly in responding to good issues. She noted that the Kenai Peninsula Borough postponed action on the Position Paper to await input from fishing organizations and urged the Assembly to do the same. She read her recommendations from a letter submitted to the Assembly. She added that although the Position Paper was vague, it was a good start to begin discussion by those in the affected industry -- fishing groups. Duncan Fields, Kodiak Salmon Industry Advisory Board chairman, was concerned about limiting Kodiak fishing because of Cook inlet salmon. He said prepared facts were communicated to the Board of Fish as a source for them to base their decision. He summarized Task Force ideas and announced a meeting on December 29, 1993 at 7:00 p.m. in the KRA offices and welcomed community participation. When Assemblymember Burt asked if the $15,000 financial assistance was enough, Mr. Fields indicated the assistance was adequate at this time. There was general discussion about the contracts for economic analysis and statistical and biological analysis. Stosh Anderson commented on four items: 1) supporting the IFQ legal defense fund; 2) supporting the salmon management plan; 3) agreeing with the remarks of Mary Jacobs and consideration to postpone Regular Assembly Meeting Volume XVII December 16, 1993 Page 177 1 i - 5 5 the Position Paper resolution; and 4) supporting the sale of Shuyak Island land with a coordinated effort. Kristen Stahl- Johnson, City of Kodiak representative on the Prince William Sound Advisory Council, agreed that the Position Paper did not address what has happened since the Exxon Valdez oil spill. She was of the opinion the resolution should be postponed so stronger language for the Position Paper could be developed. Assemblymember Austerman asked if written comments could be submitted if the resolution was postponed. Ms. Stahl- Johnson was willing to draft comments. Ron Eads favored financial assistance to the Alliance Against IFQs fund. He predicted an oil spill in the Shelikof Straits if drilling began. Arthur Schultz read his statement urging support for the Alliance Against IFQs. Dodd Shall spoke to the Tri- Borough Position Paper and his familiarity with development of company -owned city concepts. Charles (Chaco) Pearman thanked the Assembly for providing financial assistance to the Alliance Against IFQs. He thought the community stood to lose more than the amount funded to fight IFQs. Jim Ramaglia, encouraged funding the Alliance Against IFQs because IFQs would not serve the community well. Leslie Smith supported the Salmon Industry Advisory Board and funding for data and economic analysis. She reiterated the comments of Mary Jacobs and Kristen Stahl- Johnson on the Position Paper because she felt there should be more input from the fishing industry. She also supported the contribution to the Alliance Against IFQs. Peter Olsen echoed Leslie Smith's comments. He pointed out that audience comments on the Position Paper were of experts. B. Items Other Than Those Appearing on the Agenda None. Regular Assembly Meeting Volume XVII December 16, 1993 Page 178 COMMITTEE REPORTS Assemblymember Austerman, Hospital Advisory Board representative, reported on two items of interest. He said that because the emergency room caused a financial drain, the marine service was implemented and noted that it was also a financial drain. He reported that the administrator and the Board concurred that the marine service be closed or managed by another organization by the end of the year. He reported that Lutheran Homes Society would negotiate a contract in the range of $250,000 per year plus benefits with an orthopedic surgeon. He announced that $400,000 to $600,000 per year income from orthopedic services was projected. He added that the surgeon requested he be an employee of the hospital rather than in private practice. Assemblymember Hancock, Planning and Zoning Commission representative, announced the Commission would not meet during December while studying the Coastal Management Plan. She encouraged people to apply for seats on the Commission.

RESOLUTIONS Milligan, Monroe, Austerman, Burt, Gould, Hancock, McFarland 1. Resolution No. 93 -43 Adopting the Tri- RESOLUTION Borough Position Paper on the Federal Oil NO. 93 -43 and Gas Lease Sale No. 149. Presented for consideration was Resolution No. 93 -43 which, if adopted, requested the Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of Interior to address the five issues identified in the "Tri- Borough Position Paper" as part of any preparation that should take place with regard to Lease Sale No. 149. AUSTERMAN, moved to adopt seconded by GOULD Resolution No. 93 -43. Mayor Selby explained that the resolution was not the Borough's position on the five issues but a request to the Minerals Management Service to include the five issues in the public hearing process. He said the Position Paper was critical to Kodiak and the issues were not included in the environmental impact statement. He appreciated public comment but contended that public comment had more weight if the issues were on the agenda. Assemblymember Milligan appreciated Mayor Selby's efforts but was concerned that concerns of the community were not adequately addressed in the draft. Mayor,Selby emphasized the importance of putting the five issues on the agenda to be a part of the formal process. Assemblymember Gould wanted to incorporate the comments of Mary Jacobs in the document but understood the need was that the five issues be included in the environmental impact statement. Mayor Selby anticipated release of the environmental impact statement to the public in January 1994. He said the public response time was 60 days. He felt public comment had increased impact if the issues were clearly stated in the statement. RESOLUTIONS Regular Assembly Meeting Volume XVII December 16, 1993 Page 182 ! Assemblymember Austerman understood the need to move ahead and asked. a response from Kristen Stahl - Johnson. Ms. Stahl- Johnson responded that she felt Mayor Selby clarified the intent of the resolution and alleviated her concerns. She said her concerns about the language in the document could be dealt with at a later date. Assemblymember Milligan supported the intent of the resolution but was concerned that public concerns were not addressed. Assemblymember Monroe understood the concerns of fishing groups over the potential impact caused by oil exploration but understood the need to clarify the issues as part of the environmental impact statement. Assemblymember Hancock suggested compiling a complete mailing list for any future information to allow immediate response. Presiding Officer McFarland felt the tri- borough meetings were fruitful in that a specific list of important issues was the result. He had serious concerns about oil exploration in general if the issues were not included in the environmental impact statement. VOTE ON MOTION TO ADOPT Ayes: Noes: None.

Regular Assembly Meeting December 16, 1993 Volume XVII Page 183 1) ry A 4 ) S ; Mayor Selby explained the resolution authorized negotiations to.sell land that was evaluated by the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council. He said the evaluation process was based on critical habitat criteria of various kinds impacted in the spill area. He felt there was community support that Shuyak Island should become part of the state park system. He said there was direct economic impact to the community in that acquisition converted 26,000 acres of land into a cash asset. At questions raised by Presiding Officer McFarland, Mayor Selby referred to maps in the chambers that designated wildlife habitat areas. At Assemblymember Austerman's question, Mayor Selby stated he anticipated Raspberry Island to fall out of the negotiations because it did not have the quality of habitat as on Shuyak Island.

Regular Assembly Meeting December 16, 1993 y k . .•,. :34 1 1 Assemblymember Milligan remembered that in years past the fee was as low as $50.00. Assemblymember Monroe agreed with staff recommendations and felt that subdivision fees in general were less than the cost of staff time. Assemblymember Hancock also supported staff recommendations, adding that the fee was basically a user fee that should not be passed on to all Borough taxpayers because one person was working through the system to their benefit. Assemblymember Gould agreed that fees could get too high but felt the recommended fee was not too high and eliminated frivolous appeals. He agreed that appeals caused added costs.
